Interesting. 8 days of food for me would have weighed 20 lb. And I did
not break the food up into meals. I ate continuously all day with one
hot meal at some time in the day. It is hard to average more than 120
calories per ounce. At 120 calories per ounce, you are carrying about
half of the total food energy you need. I hope you are adding LOTS of
munchies.
